Wall-Ye is designed to take on the more menial chores a vineyard has to offer: namely pruning vines and removing unproductive young shoots. At the same time, though, he's capable of collecting data as he trundles around, keeping an eye on soil conditions and the state of the vines.

Oh fine! Estate Cab it is!

While I still have free shipping that is!

And I think I liked the old avatar better. I mean, how lucky is a green cat, anyway?

Sorry I missed it, but happy birthday! Unlike my BIL, at least you got to eat all day for your birthday.

Yesterday, I managed to get into a fender-bender while on my way home from work. Well, more like “quarter panel” bender. I’m OK; other person is OK. CpprCr8 will need to go into the shop. The damage doesn’t look too bad at first glance, but when you start really looking, it’s a rough smoosh. Pushed in the driver’s front Jolly Roger. Sprung the top corner outward. Door “scraaaaaapes” when you open it because the seams rub.

We were having a slow day at work around the tiime I bought it, so we held a "Name CJ's New Car" brainstorming session. And CpprCr8 was born.

Interestingly, someone who works in the building across the way from me bought an orange Honda Element the week before I did. Her vehicle is the ORNG BX.

I think CpprCr8 is more fitting...

It would be funny if that was the car you had the accident with.

I’m just highly pissed off right now. Mostly at myself.

Just so you know, you are driving a car I would love to own,...well let me clarify that, last week before accident, you were driving a car I would love to own....

If you decide you would like to buy one, aim for the 2010 or 2011 model years. Aside from the obvious (they were the last 2 production years), Honda had made some tweaks to the transmission's gear ratio to give the vehicle better performance on hills/inclines and when you stomp hard on the accelerator.

I really wish I had been able to get a 2011 and stash it in the shed out back..."reserved for future use".

Tell me about it. Off for two weeks. Last at work on the 17th. Only good thing is that the time difference that hasn't worn off completely makes it easy to get up at 5 AM. And my fitness center at work is closed for renovations, so no work out tomorrow morning. Just straight to my desk. I'll start by 6:30 I guess.
